That usually means the linker can't resolve a path to that library.  Did you link against a libpcap that's installed in a non-standard path?  If `ldd /usr/local/bro/bin/bro` tells you it can't find libpcap, it's either really missing from your system or you need to teach the linker how to find it in a non-standard path.

Check your etc/broctl.cfg to see if the paths are as you expect.  I think at least SpoolDir goes in to BROPATH and if you just copied the file from a previous install, then it's going to be wrong.
